    Nice one. Great to see reusing rather than recycling in this.

    I don't think it would work well in Ireland - like all solar space heating, it works best when you need it least, except on those cold bright crisp days we sometimes get.

    The concept is good but as you say not that suitable for our climate.

    In any event I just posted that half for fun and half to illustrate what can be done with a little thought. :)

    Guinness cans would be better as they're already mostly black, ;)

    As other have said the application in our climate might be debateable. But I was considering making one to supply warm / hot air to a clothes drier. We don't have the luxury of time to put clothes on /off the clothes line so use the drier ALOT even in the summer. This was part of my plan, cheap to build and if it didn;t really work what did I lose :)
